A distinctive appearance for the smallest R model. So compact and yet still a genuine R model. Launched in 2019, the T-Roc R01 is the agile, powerful member of Volkswagen’s compact SUV family. A new version was launched in early 2022. An impressive, comprehensive package with a four-cylinder TSI engine, 7-speed DSG and intelligent 4MOTION all-wheel drive. The two-litre engine mobilises its 221 kW (300 PS)01 of power with the dynamics you have come to expect from an R model. If required, it can release its maximum torque of 400 Nm using the standard Launch Control function. The speedometer needle can reach the 100 km/h mark in 4.9 seconds. The optional ball coupling with a towed load of 1,900 kilograms on an 8 percent incline or 1,700 kilograms on a 12 percent incline and 750 kilograms for unbraked trailers emphasises how well-suited the versatile T-Roc R01 is for everyday driving.
A thrilling performance
This thrilling performance is combined with an extensive technology package. The current T-Roc R01 comes with the advanced assist systems Front Assist and Lane Assist as standard. And the new IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist and predictive cruise control enable assisted steering, braking and acceleration at speeds of up to 210 km/h. Its extensive range of digital functions include natural online voice control and access to streaming services.
A striking appearance
The T-Roc R’s01 powerful dynamics and progressive approach are also reflected in its appearance. The unique front section with R-style bumper and narrow, vertical daytime running lights creates a robust, exceptionally powerful appearance. Clearly contoured IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights, dark-tinted LED tail light clusters, the R-logo on the black radiator grille and on the boot lid, plus four tailpipes under the rear apron: there is no doubting that the T-Roc R’s01 appearance is imposing, helping it to stand out from standard models in the hallmark R style. The same also applies to the vehicle interior. R-specific decorative elements create top-quality design highlights. The Infotainment system display is designed to look like a tablet, while the dash panel and leather sports steering wheel are adorned with blue decorative stitching.
